Bid Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 2 hours ago, Freda said: They are recognised as being part of the fabric of society, and often where families and youngsters get their first experience of racing. This has been pointed out many times of course...but the new raft of changes, while positive in the main, does not address the challenges facing the grassroots of racing. I liken it a bit to cricket here in NZ, player numbers dropped substantially so something had to be done. They didn't throw more money at the international players hoping kids will see massive money to be made, they put time and effort in to the junior level with fresh new ideas and versions of the game and the numbers of junior players are picking up again. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaltedMilkshake Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Entain aren’t interested in grassroots racing, they are ignorant and don’t understand the significance of grassroots racing. Industry days, without them what would punters bet on midweek. Petone has always been a shit show, you would expect a global gambling behemoth to seek council from educated, informed, industry luminaries, oh that’s right, they did, and just look at what’s transpiring. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slot Holders will be able to lease their slot for a maximum of one year at a time, subject to the approval of NZTR. Slot Holders will not be able to sell their slots. Clarification please?

Once you buy a slot, it's yours for the three years. You can't resell it, though you can lease it year on year. What do want clarified specifically?

Will slots go to the highest bidder and will there be a variation in the cost of each slot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A possibility in a wide variation of slot prices!Doubt it very much. I expect a reserve price or some restrictive machinations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder what happens if a number don't sell. Also, the bidder strategies. Do you go early and pay what you have to, or wait for the last ones and hope the demand is quenched at the risk there may be more competition if there are still a number empty handed.

Owning 2 slots might be a good strategy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably only one or two in NZ able to afford to buy more than one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
